　　托福阅读词汇题：paradoxically

　　【Paragraph 3】Although southern Maya areas received more rainfall than northern areas, problems of water were　　paradoxically more severe in the wet south. While that made things hard for ancient Maya living in the south, it has also　made things hard for modern archaeologists who have difficulty understanding why ancient droughts caused bigger　problems in the wet south than in the dry north. The likely explanation is that an area of underground freshwater　underlies the Yucatan Peninsula, but surface elevation increases from north to south, so that as one moves south the　land surface lies increasingly higher above the water table. In the northern peninsula the elevation is sufficiently low that　the ancient Maya were able to reach the water table at deep sinkholes called cenotes, or at deep caves. In low-elevation　north coastal areas without sinkholes, the Maya would have been able to get down to the water table by digging wells up　to 75 feet (22 meters) deep. But much of the south lies too high above the water table for cenotes or wells to reach down　to it. Making matters worse, most of the Yucatan Peninsula consists of karst, a porous sponge-like limestone terrain　where rain runs straight into the ground and where little or no surface water remains available.(Maya Water Problems)
